Apologies for the lateness.
On Monday we started the class with SSR. Then we added Assignment 70 (LC Disc Prep 9) to our notebooks.
After this Mrs. Ortega had us write the questions: "What was the authors intent in including this in there piece?" and "What specific techniques did he/she use and to what effect?" Then we chose a passage from the our reading that really struck you so that we could discuss it with our LC group.

The Membership Grid question was: "If you were a crayola, what color would you be and why?"

Hey West House!

So today we did SSR for 20 minutes, then we talked about a Scrabble Tournament we'll be having. Each group will play, and every group picked a member to be the leader to lead the game. On Wednesday, we'll play :D After that, we got into our group discussion. The topic we talked about was: What is the weirdest food you've ever eaten? Then we started to discuss the book. That's it! Oh, and add "LC Disc Prep 7" to your table of contents. Bye!
